What Causes Rough And Dark Knuckles?

no doctors(family or primary), visited local health care center 2 times for flu fever treatments. I don t have medicines in my house, not even a pain killer. Dear Dr. I got the similar question about left hand knuckles turned darker looking like the 4 have been burnt, grilled or smoked. How I found it-one night when showering, they just shocked me and looked so weird! It has been 2 weeks now, and I do not feel any thing except they look ugly, funny and the skin is rough. I don t have insurance so would you please help me with this strange thing? I am a vegetarian(90% of my food is USDA certified organic products), never smoked, size 10, 5 5 H, walk at least 4 hours a week and healthy. Have not needed to see a dentist for 15 years, and only needed to get treatment for flu twice in the past 15 years. Your help and kindness heart are gratefully appreciated.

Hello,
The dark rough knuckles may be due to friction. You can apply moisturiser to the affected area night. Use sunblock especially when you are driving vehicle. I would advice you to take vitamin tablet and omega3fatty acids tablet once daily. please visit dermatologist in person for secondary opinion and for cosmetic concern.
